Update - We have been notified that EBA Clearing has shared the required instructions with the different intermediary banking entities involved in the infrastructure in order to determine the final status of the transactions that were not fully executed during the incident.
We therefore expect all infrastructure agents to progressively complete the required actions on their side, and we hope to see pending payments updated throughout tomorrow.

Update - We are still awaiting further updates regarding the payments that remain in a transient state as a result of the incident. At this stage, there has been no change in the situation, and we continue to follow up with the relevant parties involved, with the maximum priority, to obtain further clarification and resolution timelines.

Update - Payments continue to be processed normally.
We are still awaiting further updates regarding the payments that remain in a transient state due to the incident. Unfortunately, this situation does not depend on us or on our provider directly, and therefore we are currently unable to provide an estimated resolution time.
As this was a broader issue, recovery may take some additional time while all parties involved complete their respective processes. Nevertheless, we remain closely monitoring the situation and expect further progress soon.
We will continue to share updates as soon as more information becomes available.
May 20, 2026 - 13:46 CEST
Update - Payments continue to be processed normally, with the exception of some Italian and French institutions, where we are still seeing payments being rejected.
Banca Credito Cooperativo ICRAITRRXXX
Caisse Regionale de Credit Agicole Mutuel AGRIFRPPXXX, AGRIGPGXXXX
For payments that remain in a "processing" state, we are awaiting confirmation regarding their final status. Until we receive this confirmation, we cannot determine whether the funds have been successfully delivered or not. We kindly ask you not to retry payments unless they are explicitly marked as "rejected", in order to avoid potential duplicated payments.
We expect the status of these payments to be progressively updated over the coming hours.
May 20, 2026 - 09:16 CEST
Update - Good morning. We are still seeing some banks rejecting transactions, mainly in France, Italy and Portugal. Apart from this, everything is running normally, although we will continue monitoring until the rejection rate returns to its usual level.
May 20, 2026 - 07:35 CEST
Update - We are seeing that a few banks in several jurisdictions, such as Italy and France, have not yet restored service and payments are being rejected, but in most cases payments are flowing normally.
These rejected payments will need to be resubmitted in order to be processed.
May 20, 2026 - 05:02 CEST
Monitoring - EBA Clearing confirms the issue has been resolved. Payments are starting to flow through RT1 network. We are processing our delayed payments and processing new payments as they arrive.
We keep monitoring the situation.
May 20, 2026 - 04:46 CEST
Update - EBA Clearing has completed the scheduled technical maintenance intervention. Traffic with the RT1 gateway is being restored by the different banks and clearing houses. However, the degradation of the outbound transactions service remains in place as a preventive measure, until the proper stability and functioning of the service is confirmed.
May 20, 2026 - 02:15 CEST
Update - EBA Clearing has reported that, despite the recovery efforts already underway, RT1 continues to experience rejections.
They have also scheduled a technical maintenance intervention involving a rollback of the technical release deployed last weekend. The intervention is planned for 00:30 on Wednesday, 20 May, and is expected to last between 90 and 120 minutes.

Update - RT1 has still not been restored
As this incident relates to the underlying banking infrastructure, our visibility remains limited and we are unfortunately unable to provide direct resolution timelines, as the remediation process is outside of our control.
We sincerely apologize for the ongoing impact this prolonged incident is having on your operations.
May 19, 2026 - 17:33 CEST
Update - EBA CLEARING has informed that, as part of the recovery process, connectivity to RT1 is being currently restored, therefore we expect the service to be back soon.
We will keep you updated.
Kind regards,
Elena
